Answer:

It is a rational integer.

Explanation:

'-3' is rational. It could be written as
(-3)/(1).

It is also a integer. Integers include all whole numbers and negative numbers without a fraction or a decimal.

Whole and natural numbers are only positive values. And since '-3' could be written as a fraction, it is not irrational.

'-3' is a rational number and an integer.

Hope this helps.
